Guest Al@n Guests Posted 19/11/09 04:35 AM Share Posted 19/11/09 04:35 AM I feel that if you follow all of this advice in you will not come undone, particularly in relation to intercooling requiring the correct tune, I think that this may be what you are referring too. Further, E-BAY scamers be warned, you are being watched particularly by very knowledgable XR6 T members, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will save multiple custom tunes.Also do not buy a F6 cooler unless you only plan very light mods (aka no injectors) as you will only need to buy a bigger cooler if you want anything more than 280rwkw.good advice but not entirely true depending on the model, better to be on the safe side though.I did the f6 airbox and k&n filter, then I put in a hurricane 200cpsi cat. Took is for an AFR checkup on the dyno and it was fine (rich), never hit limp mode either. Then I put on a monza style cooler and once again took it to a dyno for a check up, same results. The emissions light would come on sometimes but never limp mode.235rwkw on bf mk11 with no tunedifferent story with ba's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont break the bank and will bolt up like a stock one.Perhaps wack a Want to Buy for a Typhoon or Wog cooler and see what comes up!Or, buy this one!

(end time 25-Nov-09 19:22:43 AEDST)Ho Ho Ho there,Hi guys I ended up winning the Monza cooler on ebay,I am a bit confused guys. Now I want to know if I add the cooler on, do I need to get it flash tuned straight away? Some of you state you don't and some of you say you do (ZAP for instance). I have had a read of the sticky for overboost and itseems that its a question that has no definitive answer. Currently my car is a "2003 BA" has nothing done to it except some gauges put in. My intention is to build on the car before going to get a edit done to it. So next up I want to get some Nizpro valve springs added etc etc etc. Whats your opinion on the intercooler guys???.ThanksChaminda (Formerly Shermanator) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it has more to do with the exhaust side of things IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaminda Perera Member 5 Member For: 15y 25d Posted 26/11/09 02:43 AM Share Posted 26/11/09 02:43 AM Oh Ok- Then I will possibly look at those Atomic or Crow valve springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
